______________________________

Sunlight broke over the tops of the trees of the Great Forest, passing Emerald Hill, Knothole Village, and landing against the cliffs of Hill Top. Overlooking the vast expanses of the Great Forest, Hill Top was a mountain that stretched far against the sky, past the line of clouds and into the blue beyond.

Rays of yellow continued to push the morning shadows back, slipping over the large rocks and patches of grass on the hillsides. A gentle breeze rustled the few trees that grew up here, and brought fresh smell of the morning along with it.

The sun finally found its way over a small cabin nestled in between a dense grove of tall elms. Constructed entirely of wood from surrounding trees, it was right at home amongst the nature around it. Through one window, the sun snaked over a bed and across the face of a young fox. The vulpine frowned and rolled away from the intruding brightness, but it persisted, steadily filling the room. Slowly, the fox stirred from his slumber, rubbing his eyes as he sat up. He groaned a little, getting off the bed. The fox was nude, his lithe frame catching the gentle light, and his ass visible under his twin tails. Stretching, he grabbed a pair of cargo shorts off the floor, pulling them on. On his way out of the room, he also snagged a pair of goggles, slipping them over his ears and resting them against his forehead.

"Tails!" came a voice from just outside his door. "Come on!"

The fox grinned, getting on his red-and-white sneakers as fast as he could and bounding out of the room. His namesake, 'Tails,' came from the twin appendages behind him. His real name was Miles Prower, but no one called him that anymore. Tails was the name that stuck, especially since it was the name his best friend always used.

Closing his bedroom door behind him, Tails stepped right onto the main room, which only had a small sitting area, cooking area, and another door that led to his friend's room. Currently, his friend was sitting at the dining table, smiling over his breakfast. "Hey, bud." He had on blue shorts, the same color as his fur, with a white stripe down the legs; and, of course, his own pair of red-and-white sneakers.

Tails smiled in return at Sonic, a blue hedgehog, and his best friend. The thin hedgehog motioned to a plate of eggs across from himself, presumably for the fox. Sitting, Tails hungrily munched on breakfast.

"How close are you to finishing the tune-ups on the Tornado?" asked Sonic, finishing his own meal.

Finishing chewing, Tails answered, "Probably have it done by today, Sonic."

"Good," replied the hedgehog. "After our usual plan, you can work on it while I figure out dinner."

Tails nodded enthusiastically. The 'usual plan' meant Sonic training him for a few hours. Part of the reason they had come up here in the mountains in the first place had been to give Tails a training course on improving his speed, endurance, and reflexes. The fox knew he would never be as fast as his friend, but Sonic was the best teacher he could ever ask for to improve himself. Already, even after only a week, he could feel himself moving faster and doing better.

The hedgehog stood up, taking their plates now that Tails was finished and putting them on the counter. Later, they would clean them up at the outside water spigot, but for now Sonic could tell that his younger friend was eager to get to the days' activity. Wordlessly, he motioned for Tails to follow him past the sitting area. Sonic opened the back door of the hut, stepping outside into the sunshine. The fox was right behind him, the two of them stepping off onto the green grass.

Tails' airplane, the 'Tornado,' was parked nearby. A blue-colored, single-engine biplane, the little fox was constantly upgrading and tuning it. Over the years, he had self-trained himself as an engineer, especially when it came to his plane. His most recent upgrade had been adding a few jump-jet engines to the side of it, letting him take off and land vertically if necessary. It had been a big help in getting up onto the mountain, since before if they wanted to come up here, they had to climb the whole way.

"So what today, Sonic?" asked Tails, eagerly. "Teach me how to run faster, or how to do your spindash?"

Sonic smiled at the fox, while the vulpine's cerulean blue eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Not quite." The hedgehog walked past the fox, with Tails still following close behind. Sonic brushed through a couple of shrubs, and into a stand of tall trees. He leaned against one of them, grinning. "You're gonna go to the top of this."

Tails looked up, the tree going about one-hundred-fifty feet into the air. He shrugged. "No problem." He twisted his two tails together, and began to hover off the ground. Being able to fly was his gift, and he always liked to use it. It was how he kept up with Sonic most of the time.

"Not so fast there, little bro," started Sonic, pointing at the ground. Frowning, Tails settled back on the ground. "I want you to get up there without flying."

Now Tails looked up once more, and this time with more trepidation. "I can't fly? Why not?"

"You can't always rely on those two tails," explained Sonic. "Part of your training will be to learn to make use of other talents you have."

"O...okay," stammered the fox. Approaching the tree, he reached up and grabbed one of the low-hanging branches. Pulling himself up, he hooked his legs over the limb and straightened himself up on the branch. Standing up, he looked down, seeing he was only about eight feet off the ground.

"Long way to go there, buddy," stated Sonic from the ground, looking up at the fox.

"Yeah," muttered Tails, reaching for the next branch. Even though it was far, he knew he could do this. If nothing else, he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Sonic by not being able to climb one tree. He grunted as he got onto another branch. Even though he had flown high before, for some reason now he was feeling afraid of being up this high.

'Don't look down, don't look down,' he kept repeating to himself, climbing higher and higher. The dense leaves around him obscured the sun, with only rays here and there getting through and dappling his orange fur.

"Hey, Tails!"

Without even thinking, the fox looked down at Sonic. He was about halfway up, getting there faster than he expected. Tails knew he had flown higher than this before, but now that he was relying on clinging to a tree trunk over his flying, he was more concerned. From this height, if he fell, he didn't know if he could catch himself fast enough to counter his speed.

Trying not to picture it anymore, he just kept going. Tree limbs groaned under his weight, and the leaves rustled around him as the wind started to pick up. Tails pressed on, picking his way along. As the leaves around him began to thin, he realized he was getting near the top. Tails found he was quite relieved, and couldn't wait to be able to fly himself back to the ground. When his head poked up past the last layer of canopy, he was looking out across Hill Top and the forests beyond. Mobius looked so peaceful from up here, and beautiful.

"Hey, you made it," came a voice from behind him. Tails spun his head and looked back to see Sonic perched on a nearby branch, grinning mischievously. "I knew you would," said the hedgehog, with a wink.

"How long have you been up here?" asked Tails, gingerly sliding out onto the limb with his friend.

Sonic shrugged. "Maybe a minute. See, you could do that just fine without having to rely on your tails."

"Can I at least use them to get down?" asked Tails, hopefully.

Chuckling, Sonic answered, "Yeah, little bro, go ahead. I'll see you at the bottom." With that, Sonic took off back down the tree at speeds defying physics. Standing up, the fox prepared himself to 'helicopter' himself back down. As he was about to take off, one of the stronger mountain winds blew across the top of the tree. Tails was taken off-guard by it, and blown backwards, landing on the tree branch. There was a brief groan, before a sharp crack heralded the fall of the branch. Tails' eyes were wide as he felt nothing but open air beneath his back, and he started to fall earthbound with the tree branch. He tried to swirl his tails and get lift, but he knew he couldn't get himself airborne fast enough to counter the force of the fall he was caught in. He could hardly believe it; he was going to fall out of a tree and die on a training mission!

Somewhere nearby, he could vaguely hear Sonic calling his name. Everything was happening in slow motion. Leaves whipped past his face, and even the air seemed to move at slower pace. Bit by bit, as he fell, he turned so he was facing the ground. Watching it rush up at him, all he could do was close his eyes and wait.

When he hit the ground, he didn't feel anything; no pain, no crunch of bones. Instead, water rushed around him with a loud splash. Tails went down deep, struggling in the fluid. The drop had knocked the wind out of him, and his lungs burned for air as he swam towards the surface. Sunlight beamed down across the surface of the water, sending streams of light down through the clear water. Tails kept swimming for where the light was coming from.

When his head cleared the surface, he gasped hard, taking in deep lungfuls of air. Looking around, he saw that he had landed in a large underground lake, more than likely an artesian aquifer. Tree roots snaked across the ceiling where they entered from the soil above, branching down to the water that they quest for.

Gazing back up where he came from, Tails could see a fifteen-foot wide gap in the ceiling of the aquifer. Where he landed had apparently been eroded away by time, more than likely over the course of years when the water would rise high enough to wear away at the ground, and the roots helped it along to break apart. As far as the fox was concerned, it was just his lucky break that he happened to land right there.

"Tails!" called Sonic from above. "Tails!!"

"I'm here, Sonic!" called the vulpine. "I'm all right."

Coming to the edge, the hedgehog peered over the lip and down at the fox as he tread water. "Man, I'm glad you're okay."

"Me, too," replied Tails, with a lopsided grin.

Laughing despite his worry, Sonic said, "Do you see a way out?"

Taking in his surroundings again, Tails answered, "I can't really see much of anything. It's really dark down here."

"Okay," started Sonic, "stay right there. I'll go get the lamp from the cabin, and we'll figure out what to do. I'll be right back." With that, Sonic took off with all his speed.

Tails kept treading water, listening to the eerie silence around him. Somewhere, water was dripping into a puddle. Idly, he wondered how deep down the aquifer went, and slowly the mental image of some big creature circling his legs invaded his imagination. He wished his tails would let him fly when they were wet.

Fidgeting now, Tails thought any place would be better than staying here and in the open like this. Slowly, he glided across the top of the water, leaving gentle ripples in his wake. He wasn't sure where he was headed, just hoping to land against something solid before too long. Looking over his shoulder, he could see the patch of sunlight where he had come from. As long as he could get back to it, he had no problem with venturing a bit away from it. He was sure the acoustics in the aquifer would let him hear Sonic calling when he came back.

Going a bit farther, he could feel something tugging against his leg. Not an entity, but a current. It was vague, almost imperceptible, but definitely there. Swimming forward, he almost bumped his head against a low-hanging tunnel wall that fed off of the main lake. Looking back again, he would estimate he was about fifty yards from where he fell through the ceiling. Turning to the tunnel, he slipped past the mouth and inside.

Once past the initial opening, he found he was able to stand up. The cavern here was higher, but the ground was nowhere near as deep, only up to about his waist now. In here, he could also see, mostly due to luminescent plants along the wall, going all the way to the top. He grinned at the blues, greens, and yellows that reflected back at him. Some of the plants were as big as small ferns, and just as colorful as the rock-hugging mushrooms and lichens.

Moving deeper, Tails was beginning to wonder if he had stumbled into Mystic Cave. Often, he had heard tales of the place when he was younger; a deep cavern, hidden high in the mountains that would hold untold riches for anyone that could find it. The location was supposedly lost a long time ago. If this was indeed Mystic Cave, he could hardly wait to go back and tell Sonic. Before he started engaging in a fantasy, he had to be sure before he went back.

The tunnel curved slightly away from him, the waterline becoming increasingly shallow as Tails went on. His path was still lit by glowing plants, and he had no trouble picking his way along. Farther up ahead of him, he heard a slight trickle, like water off of stones. He could also see that the blue of the plants was being outdone by a slight red glow, and it was getting closer. Taking a deep breath, Tails rounded the bend and looked out before him.

The tunnel emptied into a secondary aquifer. Tails was standing on a ledge where the stream from the tunnel was trickling over the edge. All around him were more glowing plants, and in the center, surrounded by the clear waters of the natural spring, was a small rock ledge, and on a stone altar was the source of the red glow.

"Whoa," whispered Tails.

***

Running back as fast as he possibly could, Sonic stopped at the lip of the hole that Tails had fallen through. He had brought back the lit lantern, and a rope ladder that he hoped was long enough. If it wasn't, he would have to run back to Knothole for a longer one, and that would probably take until into the evening for him to get down the mountain and back.

"Tails!" he called down into the hole. Looking down, he just saw light glinting off the water that was rippling gently. No fox was in that water, however. "Tails!" Sonic shouted louder.

"I'm here," came a voice. Tails paddled into view, looking up at Sonic.

Sighing with relief, Sonic said, "Okay, good. Just wait there, I'm gonna tie the ladder to something and send it down."

"Forget the ladder," started Tails, "you need to come down and see this."

Frowning, Sonic inquired, "See what?"

"Just come down," insisted Tails, and swam out of view again.

"Tails, wait!" shouted Sonic, but realized it was to no avail. Sighing again, he tied the ladder to a nearby stump, hoping it was long enough. Returning to the hole, he unrolled the ladder, watching it drop and hearing the end of it touch down with a slight splash. 'Perfect,' he thought.

Forgoing the ladder, Sonic just jumped down, hitting the water. Swimming back to the top, he surfaced and called, "Tails!?"

"Over here," came a voice through the darkness. Despite the echo, the hedgehog was able to home in on it, swimming to the vulpine. Tails was standing near a tunnel entrance, soaking wet, but beaming from ear to ear.

"So what's so important?" asked Sonic. He knew the fox was aware Sonic hated to get wet, so whatever it was must have been important.

"In here!" exclaimed the fox, ducking under the entrance lip. Sonic dutifully followed, ducking in behind the fox. When he did, he looked up around him and just whistled.

"It gets better," urged Tails, wading forward

Shrugging, Sonic just kept following, the two of them walking the path Tails had already explored. They made it to the shallow region, coming to the lip overlooking the aquifer. Once Sonic had a view of the second chamber, he whistled again.

"Is that what I think it is?" he asked. On the stone altar was a chaos emerald, the red gem glowing with preternatural light, looking for all the world like it just belonged there.

Without a word, Tails jumped down into the water and started for the altar. Sonic was right behind him, not wanting to miss a chance to find an emerald. Finding one outside of the Chaos Zone was exceedingly rare. Pulling themselves up on the altar, they just marveled at it, the glint from the gem reflected in both of their eyes. Neither reached out to touch it, both just wordlessly taking it all in.

"How long you think it's been here?" whispered Tails.

"A long, long time," answered Sonic. He wondered how the emerald remained stationary when the water rose here in the chamber. But given the strange things he had seen these legendary gems do, it wasn't so far fetched when he thought about it.

"Are we going to take it?" asked Tails.

Sonic thought for a moment. There really was no reason not to; and it was better than leaving it for someone else, like Robotnik, to find. If they just happened to stumble across it, surely someone else could eventually do the same.

"Yeah," answered Sonic finally, "we are." With the finality of his statement, he reached out and plucked it from the altar. No matter how many times he held one, he was always overcome with the raw power they exuded. It coursed up through his very being; almost an electrifying feeling.

"Can we get out of here now?" asked Tails. "I'm all wet, and hungry."

Laughing a bit, Sonic nodded. "Yeah, let's head home for now."

***

Night had fallen, and Sonic and Tails were sitting down for the meal Sonic had prepared. Neither was really eating, as they were both staring at the gem in the center of the table.

"What're we gonna do with it?" asked Tails.

Sonic shrugged. "Take it back to Knothole, put it somewhere safe. Better not to mess with these things most of the time."

"You're not a little curious what we could do with it?" asked Tails, gazing at it again.

"Absolutely not," said Sonic. However, deep down, he was imagining what this little stone could do. The lure of this one was strong for some reason. Some of the research they had been able to do suggested that a few of the emeralds had unique properties that the other did not. Sonic was vaguely interested in if this could be one. Once they returned it to Knothole, he would never see it again unless there was an emergency.

"I'm going to get one ring," started Sonic, "and after that we leave it alone."

"Yes!" exclaimed Tails as Sonic went to his room. A moment later, the hedgehog re-emerged with one of his golden power rings. The rings and emeralds had a long-standing history of being related in one way or another, and usually reacted to one another's presence. Once Sonic even brought the ring to within the emerald's proximity, the ring began to glow a bright yellow, and felt almost magnetically drawn to the gem.

"What's it doing?" asked Tails, frowning.

Grunting, Sonic answered, "Not sure. It definitely wants to be next to the gem, though!" With that, the ring flew from the hedgehog's hand and went right next to the emerald, where it hung in mid-air, just hovering there. Sonic and Tails just stared on in fascination; and what happened next, neither of them had been ready for.

Slowly, the ring was absorbed into the gem. It just sank into the emerald, bit by bit, until it was gone. Once the ring had been taken in, the gem began to hum. Lowly at first, and then picking up in frequency.

"Sonic!" cried Tails, standing behind the hedgehog. Looking on with grim determination, Sonic waited to see what the emerald was doing. The gem itself now was floating off the table, and had begun to change colors cycling through the seven colors of the rainbow. First it was slow, but the color changing began to pick up speed, and the light coming from the emerald was growing more intense, and the humming was almost deafening now.

"Sonic!" yelled Tails again. "What's happening?"

"I dunno, little bro!" shouted back Sonic. Now he was concerned; what was going on? He had never before seen one of the chaos emeralds react this way before. "I'm going to take it outside!" Sonic finally announced. Approaching the gem, he grabbed it from above the table, noticing how warm it was to the touch.

Heading outside, Sonic went a few yards from the cabin and set the emerald down. Immediately, it began to float again, rising several feet into the air, casting its color cascade into the woods around it. Tails watched on from the door while Sonic came back towards the hut.

At its finale, the gem began to rotate now, spinning faster and faster, its colors changing at an almost-blinding rate. The humming was so strong, the two could feel the sound rippling through the air and into their bodies. Finally, in one bright, white flash, a ripple in thin air appeared. Sonic recognized it as a zone entrance; beyond, he could see a green field, and blue sky. Then, the ripple closed, and the gem was gone. The sudden silence by itself was almost as deafening as the humming had been.

Cautiously, Sonic took a few steps forward. Nothing had changed except for the emerald disappearing into nothing. He looked up into the trees, and around the ground, but for all purposes, it was as if the gem never was there at all.

"Sonic?" called Tails. "What happened?"

Coming back to the cabin, Sonic went inside, Tails following behind. "I'm not sure, Tails. I'm just...not sure. The emerald is gone. Vanished into some sort of zone. I'm sure I saw a zone entrance just before it was gone."

Peering back outside, Tails murmured, "I wonder where it went?"

***

The sun was shining brightly on the fields in the Sinnoh region, where one lone Pokémon was sunning itself on a flat rock. This one was just shorter than an average human trainer, mostly blue and black, with a yellow-colored belly and chest. His arms and legs were dark blue, with black paws and footpaws. With pointed blue ears and a canine-like muzzle, it looked almost like a jackal. Its legs were crossed, and it had its black paws folded over its chest while the Pokémon half-dozed.

This particular Pokémon was a Lucario. Being wild, it was free to come and go as it saw fit. Generally, it liked to hang around this grass field, which was situated on an island off the coast. Not many humans came out this way, and Lucario liked it that way. There were other Pokémon here, and a lot just kept to themselves; which was also fine as far as Lucario was concerned.

At the moment, his lazy afternoon was being interrupted as he detected a low humming noise. At first, he wasn't sure he had heard it, but it persisted, and started to become louder. Opening one of his golden-yellow eyes, he gazed across the nearby field; nothing in sight. Still, the noise was getting louder, and it seemed closer, but did not seem to possess a source. Sitting up now, Lucario stretched, yawning a bit. 'What now?' he thought to himself.

With sudden force, a hole opened across the field, looking as if it just appeared in midair. The rip wasn't solid or uniform, but instead appearing as a ripple, like a mirage. Lucario stared at it intently, curiously, waiting to see what would happen. However, it didn't seem to be expanding, just hanging open. So intently staring at the opening was Lucario, he almost didn't notice a small object drop through it and to the ground below. Letting his curiosity get the better of him, the Pokémon got off his rock, standing up. Like any Pokémon, Lucario never wore any clothing, his canid-esque sheath visible on his nude form. His long, blue tail bobbed behind him as he took off to where the object fell, brushing through tall grass and weeds.

Approaching the edge of the field, he came to a stand of trees, which surrounded a pond tucked away behind the dense trunks. Lucario slowly picked his way through the branches and leaves, careful not to step on a family of poliwags underfoot.

Brushing aside a few reeds, Lucario poked his muzzle through, looking around the pond. Above him, the hole, or whatever it was, had closed, leaving behind just blue sky again. Nothing looked disturbed; whatever the object was, it didn't leave much of a trace behind itself. More than likely, it had fallen into the water, and was under the crystal surface. Probably none of the other Pokémon nearby really cared about what had happened; Lucario was aware he possessed more intelligence than the average Pokémon. Not to say that others were stupid, but Lucario had a certain degree of logic and reason he was not seen usually expressed in other Pokémon.

Stepping past the reeds and going ankle-deep into the water, he tried to peer down into the bottom of the lake. It didn't go down deep, only about twelve feet. With the glare of the sun above, Lucario couldn't make out even anything near the top, let alone down deeper. Sighing, he went further towards the center of the lake, going past the point of being hip-deep and right to where he needed to start treading water. For a moment, he wondered if any of this was really worth it; at the same time, whatever falls out of a random hole in the sky has to have some sort of interest to it.

Taking a deep breath, he dove down under the surface. Immediately, all the noises around him were muffled, even his own movements in the water. Not wasting time, he started to swim for the bottom, looking for anything out of the ordinary. He scared away a few goldeen, and saw a squirtle checking the bottom for its meal, but didn't see anything unusual under the water. Maybe he had just imagined whatever it was that dropped down.

Just as he was ready to turn back to the surface, his eyes caught a glint in the sediment at the bottom. Kicking his legs hard, Lucario came to the sandy area beneath him. The item was red, and stuck out of the sand. With curious eyes, the Pokémon reached out with his black paw and plucked the object from the sand. Turning it over before him, Lucario could see it was similar to a gemstone; with faceted edges and deep brilliance that had nothing to do with the surrounding light.

With Lucario's lungs reminding him that he needed air, the Pokémon quickly swam back to the surface. Breaking through the calm water, he splashed around a bit as he got back to the bank. As he emerged from the water, Lucario shook off the dripping water that cascaded from his fur. The prize of his excursion was still clutched in his paw.

His fur began to dry rapidly in the bright sunlight as Lucario picked his way back towards his rock. Climbing back up on it, he resumed his previous cross-legged position and examined the object he retrieved. It was about as big as his fist, and bright red. Gazing into its surface, he could see his own reflection staring him back. Lucario had never seen anything quite like it. There was almost an inner blaze to it, yet the stone remained cool to the touch. Lucario had heard of stones that existed that could change Pokémon, turn them into other forms; idly, he wondered if this was such a stone.

Even as the Pokémon pondered the stone in his paw, he noticed the glow within getting brighter. At first, he dismissed it as a trick of the light; but the light within very definitely was growing. Lucario frowned and set the stone down on the rock he was sitting atop. As the glow grew, a soft hum emitted from the gemstone. The stone itself had also changed color to a greenish hue, and Lucario could almost feel an energy coming off of it. With a bit of trepidation, the Pokémon still sat and watched, fascinated.

The color had changed to yellow now, and didn't linger long before progressing to blue. The low hum was also picking up, hitting a higher pitch now. Lucario's tail twitched a bit, and he moved away from the color-changing stone when it started to levitate from the rock surface. It was now flashing through all its colors rapidly, and about a foot off the rocktop. With a final, brilliant flash, the air around Lucario tore open, like when he first saw the gemstone appear. Beyond, he saw a mountainous area. With awe and curiosity, the Pokémon reached out for the rip and found his paw could pass right through it, like it was just part of the field around him. The gemstone itself shifted through the rip, where it had come from. Lucario just watched in silence. Even as he gazed at it, the Pokémon felt an invisible force pulling on him. Suddenly alarmed, the canid began to get to his feet, but wasn't fast enough. The force of the closing rip took him with it, and in the blink of an eye Lucario was taken along with the gemstone.

When the rip closed itself again, Lucario was face-down in a wide field next to a stream. Tall trees surrounded him, and mountain vistas closed in on the horizon. Birds sang, and Lucario could at least tell it was morning. Pushing himself up on his hands and knees, and then to his feet, the canid listened around himself in the unfamiliar environment. Trying to fight down the sudden panic rising within him, the Pokémon kept himself in control. Maybe if he could find the gem again, he could make his way back. However, the stone in question was nowhere to be seen. Pacing back and forth, Lucario could find no sign of it. His first fear was that it had fallen into the stream nearby. The water was running at a fairly fast pace, and it would easily be swept downstream quickly.

Looking about himself once more, Lucario just sat down by the stream, looking down into the water below. Nothing here was familiar; he wondered where in Sinnoh he was. Now he only wished he'd left the stone alone.

***

Reaching down, Tails grabbed another piece of firewood and added it to the pile under his left arm. It was early morning, and light filtered down though the trees and dappled his orange fur. Sonic was back at the cabin, putting together another bit of training for Tails later in the evening. They had a couple more days before they were due to return to Knothole Village, and the fox still wanted to learn all he could before they had to leave.

The fox had been following a stream slightly down the mountain. It ran right past their cabin, so Tails knew it was an easy way to find his route back home. The short creek eventually emptied into a small pond further down; Tails had seen it on their flight in. Picking his way through tall scrub grass, he clutched his collection of wood tight to his chest while descending a slight hill. Dead leaves crunched and twigs snapped under his shoes, a bit of loose dirt rolled down with him. The stream gurgled next to Tails while he made his way further down, grabbing the odd stick and branch here and there. Sonic had also promised him something special for dinner if he brought back a lot of wood, so the fox was doing his best to deliver.

With another pleasant day around him, Tails was also just enjoying himself. A soft breeze started to swirl around him, picking up the dead leaves under his feet and taking them to wherever the wind desired. Wandering past a shallow spot in the river, Tails jumped across a few exposed rocks to the opposite bank. He could have just as easily flown over, but Tails had been thinking about what Sonic had said about not always being able to use his twin tails. More often now he wanted to challenge himself to get around without relying on his flight.

Coming to the edge of an overlook, Tails stood at the edge of the outcropping. He was nestled between two large, jutting rocks, but below him was the pond the creek emptied into. Sunlight and the reflection of nearby trees glittered across the surface of the pond. Beyond the pond, he could hear the soft roar of a waterfall where the water continued on from the pond. Looking past the water, something caught the fox's eye. Sitting by the gently rippling water was a bluish figure; it looked almost like a dog, but with sharply pointed, long ears. Across its eyes were bands of black, and longish, hairlike braids across the back of its head. A yellow belly contrasted the blue and black fur that covered the rest of its body. It was also clearly bipedal. Tails had never seen an animal like it before.

As quietly as he could, Tails stepped back from the precipice and followed the crest around to where it began to slowly even out towards the opposite bank of the pond. The fox set down the bundle of wood he'd been carrying and slinked along behind some bushes a few feet from the water. Peering up over the tops of the leaves, he could see the canid-looking animal still sitting by the edge of the bank. The blue creature was still looking down into the water, and seemed rather oblivious to Tails' stealthy approach.

Meandering further along, careful not to snap any errant twigs under his sneakers, Tails slowly worked his way around the curve of the pond. Here, however, was where the far bank ended in the short waterfall that allowed the stream to continue onward. The fox pondered on this for a moment, before deciding to fly himself quickly across the water. Twirling his two tails, he lifted himself off the bank and gave himself a rapid boost to the far side. He hoped the canine hadn't noticed; he didn't want to scare it off.

Upon looking up from his new vantage point behind another rock, Tails could see the blue figure still in the same place. Smiling to himself, the fox dropped to his hands and knees and started towards the canid again. He wasn't sure what he was going to do when he got closer, but his curiosity kept him moving onward. Getting in behind another line of shrubs behind the rock where the animal was, Tails slowly rose up to look at the backside of the creature. However, one thing surprised Tails; it was gone.

"Why are you sneaking up on me?" came a low voice from behind the fox.

Tails squeaked and jumped a bit, spinning around to come eye to eye with the male he'd been sneaking up on. Tails fell flat on his butt as the animal loomed over him. Up close, Tails could see it had brilliant yellow eyes, and looking between its legs was very surely male. The fox gulped a bit, now feeling somewhat intimidated by the animal, and rather surprised it spoke. "I was...was just...um..."

The blue male frowned a bit, furrowing its brow. "Were what?"

"Um...just curious, I-I suppose," stammered Tails, trying to stay calm. "I've never seen anyone like you before. Definitely not up here."

Snorting, the creature backed away a bit. Letting a deep sigh of relief out, Tails slowly started to get to his feet. "I'm Miles, by the way," the young fox said, "but everyone calls me Tails."

Silent for a moment, the bluish male finally just spoke, "I'm Lucario."

"Lucario?" repeated Tails. 'That's a funny name,' the fox thought to himself. Summoning up all his courage, the fox went on, "Do you live around here?"

Shaking his head, Lucario answered, "No. I was...brought here. By some gemstone."

Perking his ears a bit, Tails blurted, "You mean the chaos emerald!?"

"You know what that thing is?" asked Lucario.

"Sort of," answered the fox, shrugging. "We don't know a lot about them, other than that they're very powerful."

"This one was powerful enough to bring me to this region of Sinnoh," remarked Lucario, "wherever it is."

"Sinnoh?" echoed Tails.

"Yes," went on Lucario, motioning around him, "Sinnoh."

"This is Hilltop," replied Tails, giving Lucario an odd look. "On Mobius."

Feeling a clench in his stomach, the Pokémon asked, "Mobius?"

"It's our planet," explained Tails. "It's called Mobius. Are you from somewhere else on Mobius?"

"No," murmured Lucario, sitting down again as he felt rather overwhelmed. "I am not." At first, he thought it would be a quick trip back to his home. He had heard of strange things happening to Pokémon from time to time, but nothing like this. This may not even be his planet. How could he possibly make it home from here.

Seeing the stricken look on the Pokémon's face, Tails added, "Why don't you come back to the cabin with me. You can meet Sonic, and stay there until we figure out what to do with you." The fox put on gloved paw on Lucario's shoulder. It was clearly no normal animal; it was intelligent enough to speak, and Tails didn't want to leave him alone in a completely foreign area.

"I...guess," answered Lucario, standing up again. "It's better than being by myself."

Smiling wide, Tails exclaimed, "Great! Come on, I'll show you the way."

***

Busily stacking wood against the wall next to the stove, Sonic didn't even hear the fox come in. Once he turned around, the blue hedgehog was slightly surprised to see a house guest with his friend. "Whoa, there, who's the new guy?" asked Sonic, quickly.

Fidgeting with his paws nervously, Tails answered, "His name's Lucario. I ran into him down by the pond."

Sonic regarded Lucario for a moment, and the Pokémon only stared impassively back. "And you just brought him back?"

"Well...he's sort of lost, and I didn't want to leave him by himself," went on Tails. "We can help him, right?"

Sighing a little, Sonic just smiled a little and answered, "Yeah, little bro, we can help him." Looking at Lucario again, the hedgehog queried, "Where ya from?"

"A small island in the Sinnoh region," explained Lucario. "I was sunning myself when something fell from...what I would best call a hole in the sky."

Frowning, Sonic uncharacteristically seriously asked, "What was it?"

"I fished it from a small pond that it fell into. It looked like a small gemstone. Once I pulled it from the water, it started to glow and opened another hole," the Pokémon expounded. "Then, I ended up here. I ran into him," gestured Lucario toward the fox, "and he said I should come back here."

"Where is Sinnoh?" pressed Sonic.

"From here?" asked Lucario, rhetorically. "I have no idea."

Sighing again, Sonic suggested, "Come on, come sit. No point in standing around, right?" The three of them gathered around a low table with chairs one of the other members of Knothole village had made for them. "Tails, you want to grab a couple glasses and the jug of water?"

Nodding, the vulpine went back over to the kitchen area, getting a couple of wooden glasses and a clay jug filled to the brim of water. He brought it back over with him, setting it on the table. "Thirsty?" he asked to Lucario.

"I just want to get back home," muttered the Pokémon. "But water wouldn't hurt." The fox poured out the water into the glasses, handing one to Sonic and Lucario.

"Now," started Sonic, "I'm not familiar with this Sinnoh place. Where on Mobius is it?"

"As I said before, I don't know where I came from," replied Lucario. "Just found the gem and then here I was."

"You mentioned it before," said Sonic. "It may have been something from around here; we call it a chaos emerald."

Nodding, Lucario mentioned, "Your friend here also mentioned that. What is that exactly?"

"They're...well, we're not quite sure," started Sonic. "They're very powerful, and that's about all we know, to be honest."

Taking a deep breath, Lucario leaned forward in his seat. "Do you have anymore of them? Maybe you could send me back?"

Shaking his head, Sonic replied, "No can do, bud. Even if I knew where to find another one, I wouldn't be able to guarantee than I can send you back where you came from."

Glumly, Lucario just stared at the floor, not saying anything else. "I understand."

Tails gave Sonic a pleading look to reassure the Pokémon. "Um...," started the hedgehog, "you can stay here until we figure out how to get you home." He gave Lucario a quick smile. "Really, it's not a problem. You can use Tails' room for the time being, and the fox will bunk with me tonight. Okay?"

Nodding again, Lucario muttered, "Sure."

"All right, then," began Sonic, getting to his feet, "no sense just sitting around. I'm sure we can find something to do around here that's fun." Turning to the fox, the hedgehog went on with a grin, "Where's all the firewood?"

"Uh-oh," muttered Tails, his ears drooping. "I think I left it down by the pond."

"Guess we're going to have to get more if you want your dinner," went on Sonic, good-naturedly.

The fox and Pokémon stood up, ready to follow the hedgehog. Sonic looked at the standing Pokémon again, and now noticed Lucario's sheath and testes between his legs. "Um...do you always go around...naked?"

Lucario looked down at himself, nonplussed. "This is always how I am, yes." He looked between the other two. "You're dressed like trainers."

"Trainers?" asked Tails, looking confused.

Frowning for a moment, Lucario realized that being somewhere completely foreign, they may have no idea what a trainer is. "Trainers are humans that own us, if they can manage to subdue one of us."

"One of you?" inquired Sonic, scratching his head.

Nodding, Lucario went on, "There's more than just me. There's many, many species."

"And...you willingly just let them come catch you?" pressed Sonic, not able to wrap his mind around the concept. "Around here, when someone comes to take us away, it's not to anywhere good."

"It's not so bad," assured Lucario. "Once, I had a trainer. He was very nice, but then he passed away. While I was with him, he taught me speech and many other things. A lot of times, I miss belonging to someone. However, I've also learned to enjoy my independence."

The hedgehog still couldn't imagine allowing someone to control him like that, ever. He shivered a bit at the very idea of it. Wherever Lucario came from, it didn't sound like a place he wanted to go.

While Lucario and Sonic talked, Tails' eyes were drawn down again to Lucario's sheath. Now that Sonic mentioned it, Tails was reminded that the Pokémon was essentially nude. The fact that the Pokémon's private places did just hang out for all to see was beyond tantalizing. To the fox, it was also secretly arousing.

"Tails," said Sonic, bringing the fox from his reverie, "why don't we go out and get some more wood? Want to get everything squared away before dark."

Nodding energetically, Tails replied, "Sure, Sonic!" Smiling to Lucario, he sprinted past Sonic and out the door. The Pokémon and Sonic followed him out into the woods, with Tails staying ahead of them. Tails wanted to keep Lucario behind him, so his wandering eyes wouldn't be tempted again. While he walked along briskly, he stopped to pick up some of the larger twigs and branches he could carry with him. Looking back over his shoulder, he could see the other two also grabbing kindling and wood for the evening. He smiled a bit and swished his tails. Tails liked Lucario, even if he was rather quiet and didn't seem excitable. Part of it was probably due to Lucario being so far from his home, but he still seemed somewhat reserved.

"It's really not so different here from where I come from," mused Lucario, looking around. "Lots of trees, the stream, blue sky...just like home."

Smiling a bit, Sonic reached down to pick up a couple errant sticks Tails missed. "It's nice here, that's for sure. We live down in the forests just below the mountain, in a place called Knothole."

"Perhaps I could see it sometime," said Lucario, quietly.

"Sure can!" exclaimed Sonic. "We'll probably be headed back in a day or two. Then you'll get to meet everyone."

Nodding, Lucario took a deep breath of the mountain air around him. "I'd like that."

***

As the sun set, darker clouds began to collect over the horizon where the brilliant orb retreated to give way to the night. Soft candlelight flickered against the windows, while the three of them sat inside as Sonic set about cooking.

"So, what's the big surprise for dinner?" asked Tails, looking over the hedgehog's shoulder. "Chili dogs aren't really a 'surprise' anymore."

With a smirk, Sonic pulled out a basket with a wrapped handkerchief set in it. Unfolding the edges of it, he revealed a few pieces of smoked meat; steak, to be exact. The smoked meat was one of the vulpine's favorite foods. The hedgehog also took a few different fruits from the basket, and laid them out on the table. "Wasn't expecting visitors when I put all this together, but I think we'll have more than enough."

"Thank you," said Lucario, softly.

"Now, now, no need for any of that," went on Sonic. "C'mon, let's eat!"

Tails was the first to grab a bit of the beef, munching on it contentedly. This treat definitely made gathering wood out in the forest all day worth it. Not to mention that he also ran into their new friend, whom Tails still had to try to keep his eyes from wandering over. Even while he demolished his dinner, his gaze drifted to their guest, and his uncovered areas.

"Tails."

"Hm?" asked the fox, quickly swinging his vision towards Sonic.

Sighing, the hedgehog went on, "I said, make sure you have some fruits as well. Can't be healthy on just meat."

Nodding, Tails just responded, "Don't worry, I will."

The hedgehog walked away from the table, taking an apple with him. Picking up one of the already lit candles, he began to put the flame to a few more as shadows began to draw their long shapes across the floor. With the mountain tops between them and the sun, it seemed darker than it really was. Regardless, nightfall would still be along shortly.

"Thank you again," started Lucario, "for dinner, and a place to sleep."

Waving his hand, Sonic replied, "Please, it's not a problem. We're happy to help. Besides, you're probably used to sleeping outside."

Smiling slightly, Lucario said, "I suppose I am."

"So," began Sonic, coming back to the table and sitting down, "what was it like? When you had an owner?"

"Trainer," corrected Lucario.

Frowning a bit, the hedgehog asked, "There's a difference?"

"For all intents, I suppose not," admitted the Pokémon. "Unlike other trainers, I didn't battle, I was more like a...pet, I guess. We lived in Cianwood City, right by the water. He was a fisherman, lived by himself after his wife had died. I was content with my life, happy to be owned by someone." Sonic didn't say anything, just listened. "Then, one day, he went out to catch fish, and a harsh storm struck the coast. I never saw him again after that day. When it was apparent he wasn't coming back, I set out on my own, free to wander as a wild Pokémon again. Eventually, I stowed away on a boat, hoping it would take me to some far away place where I would make a new home for myself.

"But, during the sail, they found me stowed away and dropped off on an island in the sea. At first, I was worried about what would happen to me. However, after a time, I discovered it was full of other Pokémon, and I became satisfied to stay there. Really, I had no choice, but it was nice to at least make peace with the idea."

"So your owner was more like a friend," interjected Tails, biting into an apple.

Nodding, almost sadly, Lucario answered, "Yes." Standing from the table, he went to one of the windows and looked out into the darkening evening. "Often, I still miss him."

Neither Sonic nor Tails said anything for a moment, just sitting at the table and watching the Pokémon. Lucario turned from the window, forcing a smile. "I apologize, I didn't mean to be so down. Being so far from home is...hard."

Getting up from the table now himself, his tails swishing behind him, Miles took Lucario by the paw and exclaimed, "Come with me!" The Pokémon looked puzzled, but followed the young fox outside. The sun was now just about down over the horizon, with small dots of stars appearing in the sky.

"Sonic and I like to come out here and catch fireflies," explained Tails, walking away from the cabin and a bit out into the forest. "It's a lot of fun!"

Sonic smiled a bit at watching his friend try to cheer Lucario up. Tentatively, Lucario followed Tails out into the woods, making sure to keep up with the fox. Not far behind them, Sonic brought up the rear. Their cabin was easy to make out in the darkness with the candlelight being thrown against the windows. With the waning light around them, the luminous insects began to make themselves apparent. Tails laughed a bit and chased after a couple of them, swirling around in the dark.

"He seems so happy," observed Lucario.

"He's still young," remarked Sonic, crossing his arms. "Has a lot to learn yet."

Nodding, Lucario held his paw out and let one of the fireflies land on it. Regarding it curiously for a moment, he waved his paw a bit and the insect took flight again. "Beautiful," he whispered.

"Let's go make sure Tails doesn't stray too far away," said Sonic, walking into the woods after the fox. Taciturnly, the Pokémon followed suit, his problems, for the moment, seemingly forgotten.

***

"You can crash in here," said Sonic, opening the door to Tails' room.

"I couldn't," began Lucario. "The floor would be fine, or--"

"Nonsense," the hedgehog cut him off. "Tails will bunk with me, right little bro?"

"Right!" exclaimed Tails, with a smile.

Sighing in defeat, Lucario nodded. "Thank you."

"We get up early around here," said Sonic, "so don't be surprised if the fox comes in to make sure you're up."

Chuckling, the Pokémon responded, "Do not worry, I'll likely be up before you."

"Night," said Sonic, turning to his own room.

"G'night!" called Tails, following the hedghog.

Lucario didn't say anything in kind, just going into his room and closing the door. There was no light, save what moonlight made its way in through the window. He wasn't bothered at all by the lack of light; living outdoors so much, he had excellent night vision. Besides which, he found it quite easy to get over to the bed. He stretched out across it, finding it surprisingly comfortable; it felt like it was stuffed with some sort of down. With a contended sigh, he faced to the window, looking to the sky outside. Even the stars here looked different, reminding him how far from home he really was. Maybe tomorrow he could find his way back; it was a new day full of possibilities.

In the next room over, Tails and Sonic were still getting ready for bed. Sonic had gotten out a bed roll for Tails on the floor, laying it out next to the bed.

"Why can't I just sleep in your bed?" asked Tails as the hedgehog spread the bedding out.

"Because," answered Sonic, simply.

"Hrmf," was all Tails grunted back.

With an affable smile, Sonic went on, "Come on, get to bed. Gonna be another long day tomorrow." With that, Sonic took his own sneakers off and put them under the bed, crawling onto his bed. Tails followed suit, putting his own shoes next to the bedroll and lay down, pulling the covers up over him.

"Night, Sonic."

"Night, Tails."

The cabin settled into silence, darkness invading every corner except where the celestial illumination could touch. The candles sat unlit, but still trailed soft wisps of smoke away, reminding that they were just previously small blazes in the dark.

After only a few minutes, Tails could hear Sonic's telltale snoring in the gloom. The hedgehog didn't snore too loud, but definitely created a bit of a din. Tails sighed, missing his own bed. He tossed over, then back again, and then to his back. He just couldn't sleep, and the creeping idea of their guest in his bed, naked, wasn't helping. The fox tried to will the images away, which wasn't easy when it was right in front of him all day. Tails was used to he and Sonic wearing pants all day; having a male with his private places hanging out for all to see was positively titillating.

The more he tried not to think of it, the more it came, unbidden, into his inner thoughts. The low-hanging sac of the Pokémon, his blue sheath, and attractive curves around his legs and ass. He closed his eyes, but it only came more vividly. Opening his eyes again, he cast the blankets off himself, feeling warm suddenly. Looking down past his chest tuft and belly, he saw his pants tenting upward from his erection. Gulping, he pressed a paw over his crotch, trying to quell his rising sex, but the sensation of his throbbing maleness against his palm only made it worse.

Sitting up, Tails sighed quietly. Sonic still snored softly, rolling over in his sleep. Putting his shoes on stealthily, the fox got to his feet and quietly opened the door back to the living area. Closing it gently behind himself, he walked over to his own room. Putting his ear to the door, he tried to listen within. No sound stirred from within; unlike himself, Lucario was probably asleep. Only Tails' own heartbeat, breathing, and the sound of crickets outside filled his ears. Putting a paw to his crotch again, he could still feel his own stiffness, reminding him of why he was up in the first place.

Honestly, he didn't know what he was doing out here. It would be best if he just returned to Sonic's room, lay down and went to sleep. However, in the back of his mind, he knew his room did not have a lock on the door. Ignoring the voice that told him to go back to bed, he put his paw across the doorknob. Pushing gently, the door gave inward.

Standing in the doorway, he felt like an invader, even though it was his own room. Silver moonlight filtered in through the window and across the bed, where Lucario was laying. He faced towards the wall, oblivious to the fox's entrance.

Stepping into the room, Tails closed the door slowly behind himself. Now that he was in the room, he could barely even breathe. Lucario's soft, rhythmic breaths could be heard in the darkness, and Tails just stared at the canid's footpaws. As stealthily as he could, Tails began to move across the room. The wood beneath his feet squeaked slightly, and Miles had never found that sound so loud before in his life. Every squeak made him wince and look to Lucario, but the Pokémon never moved.

Approaching the end of the bed, Tails looked over Lucario while he slept. He still looked so unique, so sexy to Tails for some reason. The fox wished the Pokémon was lying on his back so he could see the exposed sheath again, but for the moment that wish was being denied to him.

However, Lucario's feet were open, the Pokémon opting to sleep above the covers. Tails examined them closely, seeing that they were like a dog's, covered in soft, black fur with large toes and pink pads. Leaning in closer, Tails sniffed them over a bit, still mostly keeping his distance. His maleness still pressed at the fabric of his pants, demanding its out. The Pokémon's footpaws twitched a bit in his sleep, and Tails couldn't resist any longer.

Getting down on his knees, he pushed his muzzle against the exposed soles in front of him. Still being certain to not wake their guest, Miles none the less enjoyed the sensation of the fur pushing into his nose, and the vague scent. Secretly, Tails had had an attraction to feet for awhile. Sometimes he liked to play with Sonic's while he slept, since the hedgehog was such a sound sleeper.

Apparently so was Lucario, as the Pokémon didn't stir from his slumber as Tails slid his muzzle back and forth along the black feet in front of him. He gave a contended sigh, feeling his heart beat hard in his chest. From the moment he'd laid his eyes on Lucario, he'd felt attracted to this male. It still wasn't anything he could put his finger on. If Lucario had been awake, he'd never have the courage to do this; but for now, he was enjoying himself.

Not taking his nose from Lucario's footpaw, Tails reached down and undid his pants' button and zipper, pulling them down towards his knees. His cock and testes were now exposed in the darkness, and the fox gently rolled his own orbs around in his paw. The stimulation combined with burying his muzzle in Lucario's footpaw was absolute heaven to him. His loose sac filled his paw wonderfully, and it made him think of the Pokémon's.

Rubbing his own paw up from his balls, Tails traced the base of his penis, coming to rest his paw against the end of his shaft. The vulpine had long ago discovered the joys of self pleasure. Having an external source of excitement just made everything even better. Taking his maleness in his paw, he gripped his shaft firmly and slowly stroked upward towards his head, then back down again. At seven inches, the fox was rather satisfied with his cock, which pulsed in his grip, exhilarating him further. Idly, he wondered what Lucario's erect maleness would feel like in his paw.

Trying to keep his breathing quiet, and minimize his sounds of pleasure, Tails pawed himself while he suckled a bit on Lucario's toes and tongued his paw pads. His twin tails swished with excitement and happiness at the thrill of the forbidden and delight of his sex. Every lick and stroke was another wonderful jolt of bliss, one more step to his climax. However, Tails was in absolutely no hurry to finish this evening; it would be a long time to dawn.

Getting himself more comfortable, he took his paw briefly from his cock and pushed his pants down to his ankles, now able to fully thrust his hips out and let the complete length of his fox penis out from his furred sheath. He hadn't even looked down to his own shaft, and usually liked to see his cock while he was intimate with himself. Tonight, all his attention was on what was under his muzzle at the moment. The pliable, velvety fur even was pleasant in his muzzle when he licked and sucked it. In his mind, he saw his shaft lying against the silken fur and humping himself to completion against it. Just the idea alone brought new urgency to his masturbation.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" came a quiet voice in the darkness.

Tails' eyes flew open, and he stumbled back over his pants around his ankles. He ended up his butt, legs in front of him tangled under his own pants. Looking to the bed in horror, he almost hoped he had misheard. As the Pokémon sat up in the bed, Tails knew he had not.

"I asked, are you enjoying yourself?" Lucario repeated.

The fox swallowed hard, feeling stupid with his pants down and his cock hanging out for all to see. He would have sworn the Pokémon was staring at it while Miles sat there. "Um..."

"I'd say it's rather obvious you were," observed Lucario, fluidly getting out of the bed. He came over to Tails and held his paw out. "C'mon."

A furious blush creeping under his eyes, Tails took the proffered paw and pulled himself to his feet. He wouldn't look the Pokémon in the eyes, reaching down to pull his pants up. However, Lucario put a halting paw over Tails'. "I didn't say you had to get dressed," said Lucario, gently.

"But...," started Tails. "How long did you know I was here?"

With a slight smile, Lucario answered, "Since you closed the door."

"Oh," replied Tails, lamely. "Um...sorry."

"Don't be," assured Lucario. "I noticed you were...watching me all day." This made Tails blush even harder. "It's been awhile since...I mated with anyone, I suppose." The fox's ears perked up a little, taking his gaze from the floor. "It would be enjoyable."

Tails smiled despite himself. "But...I mean...are you sure?"

Lucario put a paw on the fox's chest, running his paws through Tails' fur. "Mmhmm. Maybe help me take my mind off everything." Looking down at Miles' dripping cock, Lucario asked, "Did you want to finish?"

Looking away again, Tails just nodded a little. Without another word, Lucario went to the bed, lying down and presenting his footpaws to the vulpine, wordlessly beckoning Tails to him. Miles slipped his sneakers and pants off, then slowly, hesitantly, came to the bed, sitting on the edge.

"No need to be nervous," said Lucario, softly. "You were so bold before."

Laughing quickly, Tails replied, "That was when I thought you were asleep," and realizing how creepy that sounded as he said it.

"If you like my paws so much, why not use them?" asked Lucario, wiggling his footpaws at Tails. The vulpine couldn't resist the large paws being presented to him, and got on all fours, pushing his muzzle against them. Immediately, his cock became rigid again, straining for Miles to resume touching himself. "You could do whatever you wanted," encouraged Lucario.

Tails paused with trepidation at what he really wanted to do. Moments ago, he'd been thinking of thrusting his penis against these paws, and now here was his chance. Looking up at Lucario, the Pokémon just nodded. Getting on his knees, he stroked himself a bit while Lucario, needing no direction, rolled over onto his stomach to give Tails better access to the soles of his feet. His heart jackhammering in his chest, Miles brought his hips closer to Lucario's footpaws, his cock hovering only inches over Lucario's right footpaw.

"Are you sure?" asked Tails again.

"Mmhmm," replied Lucario. "Go on," he continued, softly.

Not needing to be told twice, Tails pushed his shaft against Lucario's footpaw. The sensation was beyond anything he could have expected. He and Sonic had fooled around before, but Lucario's fur felt so much nicer against the underside of his cock. Completely settling his maleness against the footpaw, it embraced him like a familiar, intimate lover, surrounding him, feeling warm and velvety.

"You feel...good," whispered Tails, loving the sight of his precum smeared against the black fur.

Rubbing his footpaw back and forth against Tails' shaft, Lucario just smiled a bit again. He liked letting the fox use his feet to whatever end he liked; really, though, the Pokémon was hoping Tails would return the favor when he was finished.

Realizing he'd been holding his breath for a few seconds, Tails let it go slowly as he start to thrust his penis against the footpaw in front of him. Immediately, he was overtaken with completely new sensations. Even the times he and Sonic had done sexual things together, it hadn't felt like this. Lucario's satiny fur embraced his cock, yielded against it at the same time surrounding it. Nothing could compare to it; not Tails' own paw, not even the few times he'd felt the hedgehog's muzzle surround his member. Every stroke of Tails' cock against the Pokémon's footpaw was absolute heaven to him.

Lying on his belly, Lucario smiled to himself as the young fox started his thrusts. The Pokémon idly thought about how he had come to have this vulpine with his cock pressed to Lucario's footpaw. All the weirdness that had befallen him this day, running into the two of them, and now having the fox's length laid across his paw. The sensation of the hard maleness against his soles made Lucario's own sheath begin to stir, and a bit of his shaft was peeking from his sheath slit. Pressing into the bed, Lucario's erection was almost painfully pinned beneath him. Shifting a bit, but making sure not to disrupt Miles' pleasure, Lucario repositioned his erect maleness, having to resist the urge to touch himself while he became aroused.

Tails, heedless of the Pokémon's fidgeting, continued to rub his shaft over the supple fur under him. He made sure not to let himself get too excited, or hump too fast; he wanted to make this last. As he went on with his foot play, his mind swam from the delight coursing up through his body. His twin tails swished with delight, and he closed his eyes while propelling his hips back and forth to use the Pokémon's footpaw.

"Isn't this better?" asked Lucario, looking over his shoulder.

"Yeah," whispered Tails, thrusting a bit faster now. "It is..." He opened his eyes, and saw the Pokémon under him raise his blue tail, showing off his tailhole. Miles had always thought of himself as a submissive, especially after letting Sonic take him a few times. However, the sight of seeing under Lucario's tail thrilled him, and made the fox drive himself on harder. He slid his shaft against the pads and Lucario's toes, which curled at the vulpine's advances. In Tails' wake was occasionally left a bit of precum from his delight.

"Don't hold back," Lucario spoke softly. "I want you to cum on my paws."

With a quiet gasp, Miles just nodded, his body wracked with waves of rapture. His cock quivered against Lucario's footpaw, and so badly did he want to unload the contents of his testes over the Pokémon.

When Lucario suddenly moved, Tails was brought from his reverie. The Pokémon pulled his footpaw away, and rolled onto his back. He gazed at Miles with a knowing grin, over his chest and past his black penis, which was now fully free of its sheath and glistening in the moonlight.

"What's wrong?" asked Miles, panting a bit.

"Here," said Lucario, bowing his legs out a bit and putting his footpaws up in front of his chest, parallel to one another. He smiled again and nodded at his waiting paws. "I want to see you when you finish."

More than willing to accede to the Pokémon's desire, Tails brought himself closer to Lucario's waiting footpaws. He found he had to stand now to get at them, getting up on his feet and bearing his hips towards his goal. Lucario merely waited for the fox to get ready, idly stroking his cock now that he had access to it.

With a new thrill rising in him, Miles pressed his penis between the two paws. With his cock fully enveloped in Lucario's paws, and the satiny fur totally encompassing his erection, Tails could barely handle the complete sensory overload. "Ohhh...," he moaned under his breath. Now, he began to thrust in earnest, supporting himself on the tops of Lucario's paws at the same time he pressed them tighter against his own shaft.

Now able to see Miles enjoy his footjob, Lucario smiled at the fox's thrusts and plunges between the Pokémon's ebony paws. Thin strands of precum leaked from Tails' cockslit, and Lucario wanted so badly to see the fox's knot.

Tails himself did feel his knot slipping free from his sheath at the base of his maleness. Looking down at himself, he saw the wide base appear from his furred covering. As he kept humping into Lucario's paws, he could feel his climax approaching. Faster and faster, he hastened his propulsions, enjoying the tingle slowly moving from his sac up through his shaft and head. In the dim glow from outside, Lucario watched the fox's cock throb and pulse with each thrust between his footpaws.

"Are you going to cum?" whispered Lucario, entranced on Miles' cock.

"Mmhmm," murmured Tails. "Soon...soon..." His tails wagged and swayed behind him, mirroring the fantastic feeling inside of him as his orgasm rushed through his maleness, begging, demanding for its release. His knot slammed against the edge of Lucario's feet, as if Tails were really mounting someone. He managed to open his eyes to watch the incoming release of his seed.

With one last rub of his shaft against Lucario's footpaw, the tingling sensation increased and a new feeing shot up through his shaft, like a bolt of sheer ecstasy. His cock bucked and spasmed as he came, his first couple spurts of semen reaching Lucario's chest and belly, white strands of Tails' fox seed landing wherever it pleased. Lucario just enjoyed the spectacle of the vulpine cumming. Miles cried out with elation while his cock emptied its contents over the Pokémon, and his footpaws, the creamy white of his semen obvious against the black of the footpaws Tails had been humping into. Every flex of his shaft was another flare of pleasure through his maleness, repeated each time he let another rope of his cum go. When the fox was done giving in to his release, Lucario curiously dabbed a paw in the bit of semen on his belly and brought it to his muzzle, licking it off. With a slight grin and mischievous look, the Pokémon licked his paw clean.

Miles sat back down on the bed, panting, but feeling fantastic. Leaning forward, he licked a bit of his own cum off Lucario's footpaws, enjoying the tang of it. With more zeal, he continued on, getting the Pokémon cleaned off. Lucario just watched on in mute lust. Now, he wanted to bend the fox over more than ever.

Done licking his own semen, Miles climbed between the Pokémon's legs, laying against Lucario chest to chest. Tails could feel the other canid's erection pressing against his belly, and he liked the sensation. Licking Lucario's cheek, Miles softly asked, "What now?"

"I'm in no rush," whispered Lucario, licking the end of the fox's muzzle.

Smiling a little, Miles reached down between the two of them and rubbed at Lucario's member a bit. "Feels like someone disagrees."

Breathing deeply at now having attention on his own maleness, Lucario just smiled again. "I suppose." Hesitating for a moment, Lucario asked quickly, "Have you been...taken before?"

Unsurprised by the question, Tails answered, "Uh-huh, by Sonic a few times."

"Do you like it?" pressed on the Pokémon.

"Yeah," answered the vulpine, sheepishly.

Going on, Lucario ventured, "Would you like it if I...?" he trailed off.

Blushing a little, the fox replied, "If you would like." He fondled the Pokémon's testes a bit, loving the feeling of the heft of Lucario's orbs in his paw. The Pokémon ran his paws over the fox's chest, enjoying feeling the fur of Miles' chest through his paws.

Wordlessly, Tails got off Lucario, letting him sit up a bit. Once he did, the fox straddled Lucario's lap, feeling the Pokémon's cock press against his ass. He blushed again at the feeling, and at being so open and vulnerable. Reaching back and moving his tails a bit, he raised them and let Lucario rub his cockhead against Miles' tailhole.

"Are you ready?" asked Lucario, looking into Miles' eyes.

With a nod, Tails reached back for the Pokémon's cock, guiding it to his waiting tailhole. Sitting forward a bit to give better access, Tails could already feel Lucario's head push against him. As Tails set himself back down, Lucario already was beginning to spread him open. It had been awhile for Miles since Sonic had last mounted him, but he wanted to make Lucario feel as good as he felt now, thanks to the Pokémon. Slowly, he worked Lucario's canid-like penis into his ass, gently taking the head to stretch himself out, and then lowering himself down over the shaft. Tails breathed hard and gritted his teeth a bit at the initial intake of the Pokémon's girth, but he let it give way to the wonderful feeling of being filled by another male. Working past the pain at first, it began to form into a unique pleasure. Lucario was definitely much wider than Sonic, but Tails was enjoying the extra girth as he slid down the Pokémon's shaft.

"You're...tight," murmured Lucario, loving the feeling of Tails' insides cloying around his erection. He only had about half of his eight inch maleness inside of the fox, and the vulpine was tantalizingly-slowly edging Lucario's penis inside of him. Tails wanted to enjoy every inch, every moment of the Pokémon inside of him.

"And you're big," whispered Tails. "Gotta go slow." His chest heaved with the long shaft making its way inside of him, and the fox just closed his eyes to finish the last few inches. Bit by bit, all of Lucario's cock made its way within, held within Tails' velvety insides. When Miles had completely taken the Pokémon, he could feel the fur of the base of Lucario's sheath against his ass.

With a contended sigh, the Pokémon murmured, "I think I'm all in."

"Mmhmm," replied the fox, swishing his twin tails a bit, "I can tell." Gingerly, he lifted his rump up from the base of Lucario's cock, greeted with a slight moan from the Pokémon. Once he was a few inches up, Tails set himself back down, riding Lucario's long, thick shaft. The canid cock buried within Tails was definitely larger than Sonic's, and the fox couldn't be happier with that fact.

"When was the last time you were with another male?" asked Tails, quietly, as he steadily used the Pokémon's cock.

Taking a deep breath, Lucario answered, "Shortly after my owner died. I met another Lucario, a male, and we shared an evening together. We didn't speak the same language anymore, with my having learned english, but we both knew what we wanted." Fondling Tails' spent maleness, but still hard, cock, Lucario went on, "It's usually rather obvious."

Laughing a little, Tails enjoyed the sensation of the Pokémon stroking him off. Despite having just cum, the fox felt like he could definitely go again, as he dripped with the fluids from his previous ejaculation. Every pass of Lucario's penis against his intimate inside places was another urgent flare through his balls and penis, keeping him aroused.

"Are you doing all right?" asked Lucario, softly.

'More than all right,' thought Tails to himself. "I'm just fine," assured Tails with a smile and slight grunt. The Pokémon's cock spasmed inside his ass, and Tails returned in kind a quick flex of his tailhole around the girth of Lucario. With a sharp intake of breath in pleasure, Lucario grinned. Completely taking the fox's cock in his paw now, Lucario had begun to paw the vulpine in turn. Awash in pleasure from both sides of him now, Miles found himself in pure ecstasy.

"Do you have a knot?" inquired Tails suddenly.

Nodding, Lucario answered, "I do." The fox didn't say anything else, apparently satisfied with that knowledge. Loving the feeling of the throbbing shaft slipping in and out of his ass, every thrust in his behind was also accompanied by a stroke from Lucario across the vulpine's shaft. The sexual stimulation on his maleness only propelled him on further, which seemed to make Lucario just as happy.

"Easy," whispered Lucario affectionately, caressing Miles' cheeks with his free paw, "there's no rush."

"I just like feeling you inside of me," susurrated Tails. He arched his back against Lucario's cock buried deep within him, the Pokémon's heat mixing with the fox's, the two of them becoming one at where their intimate place joined the other. Even when Lucario had been with the last male, it hadn't been like this. The Pokémon was never certain why he had wanted to mate with a male; it was supposed to be that he would find a female, take as his own and produce offspring. However, the idea of being with a male had always been more enticing, and apparently the young fox felt the same.

Clear droplets of precum had formed on the vulpine's slit again, and Lucario regarded them with sensual awe as they slipped past Miles' head, down the shaft, and were absorbed into the Pokémon's fur. As Lucario was increasingly aroused, he was vaguely aware that Tails was no longer riding him, and that the Pokémon was thrusting his hips upward and had begun to take the fox. Simply holding his tailhole out for Lucario to use as he wanted, Tails merely enjoyed having his rump used. Unfortunately, the Pokémon had stopped pawing Tails off, but he didn't care at the moment.

Bucking his hips up and down, Lucario now enjoyed the tactile sensation of sliding his cock in and out of Tails' tailhole, somehow different from letting the fox ride him. The Pokémon grunted in pleasure while his shaft bred the fox, the vulpine now leaning himself against Lucario, fully exposing his ass to the Pokémon.

"I like that," murmured Tails, burying his muzzle into Lucario's neck. He didn't want to cry out, for fear of waking Sonic. It wasn't pain, but just pure elation that made Tails want to yell out in the night.

Slowly his thrusts down a bit, Lucario said softly, "I have an idea. Why don't we do something a bit different." Sliding his maleness from Miles' tailhole, he went on, "Get on your hands and knees."

Wordlessly, Tails did as he was told, gently getting off of Lucario's lap and crawling onto the bedspread. His heart pounded loudly in his chest at the anticipation of what was coming next. Sonic had only ever taken him like this once, but Tails had enjoyed it.

Getting on his knees behind the fox, Lucario took his shaft in his paw. Miles lifted his twin tails again, exposing his tailhole for the Pokémon once more. At the sight of Tails' intimate spot, and the idea of slamming his cock in there once more, Lucario brought his hips closer to the fox's rear end. Guiding his maleness forward, he pushed his head to Tails' rump again and slipped himself inside. Tails murred in his throat as he was penetrated, now doggy-style, bunching the sheets up in his paws while he received Lucario. This time, there was no pain, only pure exhilaration as they coupled.

The Pokémon wasted no time with this coupling, hilting himself on the initial thrust inside the fox. Tails arched his back, moaning under Lucario's breeding of his tailhole. "Shh, we don't want to wake your friend," chided Lucario, good-naturedly. Stifling his sounds of ecstasy, the fox nevertheless still grunted and whimpered under his breath. The sexual sounds from the fox only spurned the Pokémon on harder as he began to thrust in and out, propelling his hips back and forth from the vulpine's tailhole.

"Mmf...harder...," moaned Tails, flexing his tailhole around the base of Lucario's cock. The Pokémon was more than willing to accede to Miles' request, firmly driving his penis into the fox with each propulsion. The fox was still pleasantly tight, just loosening up enough to make it pleasurable for both of them. Drops of precum made their way from Tails' cockhead, painted silver in the moonlight, and eventually made their way to the bedspread below. Tails was also now much more aware of the jolts of excitement that made their way through him from the inside out with each time Lucario entered him.

Putting his paws on either of Miles' hips, Lucario humped the fox steadily, still loving the fox's tight heat around his maleness. The more that Lucario mounted the fox, the more of an urge he began to have to bury his knot deep inside the eager vulpine. He assumed that since the fox had been asking him about, Tails wanted much the same thing.

"Are you going to knot me?" asked Tails over his shoulder, as if on cue.

"If you'd like," breathed Lucario between thrusts.

Just nodding, Tails took one of the pillows nearby and put it under his muzzle, resting his head on it and wrapping his arms around it, letting the Pokémon do whatever he wanted. Tails was completely content at the moment, the submissive fox having everything he needed. His own cock strained and begged for another release, but Tails could not reach himself at the moment, and even if he had been able, the fox somewhat enjoyed the feeling of being denied. As his shaft throbbed and strained for another orgasm, Tails just reveled in the intense feeing of being right on the edge of climax.

Lucario was also on the verge of orgasm, barely able to contain himself as the fox's ass received him so readily. Each thrust back into the tight rump was another wave of pleasure and delight to his climax. He was vaguely aware of his knot leaving his blue sheath, but wasn't ready to lock with the fox just yet. Loving the slippery freedom of sliding in and out of the fox, Lucario just rode every thrust with a new feeling of satisfaction, especially when the vulpine would clench his ass around Lucario's maleness.

Tightening his grip on the fox's hips in his pleasure-filled fervor, Lucario whispered, "I'm going to cum inside you, Tails."

"Uh-huh...," gasped out the vulpine.

Smiling, Lucario made one final thrust forward, pushing his knot against the fox's tailhole. Slowly, so not to hurt the fox, he edged his wide base into Tails, bit by bit. As he did, he felt the vulpine's tailhole spasm around it, and he realized Tails was ejaculating again from the sensation of Lucario pushing his knot inside Miles. Tails gasped out, closing his eyes and enjoying the hands-free orgasm Lucario had supplied. His penis bucked and twitched while he unloaded the contents of his testes again, this time onto the bed rather than the Pokémon's footpaws. Biting down on the pillow to keep himself from moaning out too loudly, his climax subsided again, and he was left with the wonderful moment of being completely filled with the other canid's knot. Even while the wet ropes of his seed still clung to the bed, Lucario was locking himself with the fox. It was almost too much for the fox to handle, just a massive sensory overload that wracked his body, and left him wanting more.

The twinges of the young fox's orgasm slowly subsided, and Lucario was able to get the entirety of his knot inside the vulpine. As tight as Tails had felt around the Pokémon before, now it was even more intense. Lucario could just barely rock his hips back and forth a bit to herald on his own release. He was right on the edge, and it would take so little to push himself over. His shaft twitched, and his testes tingled with the potential of giving forth his semen.

Panting beneath Lucario, Tails clenched his tailhole once more, and Lucario felt a twinge shoot through his cock, from his balls to the head of his penis. He knew this was the bolt of his orgasm coming through his shaft. Moaning, he merely relaxed and waited for it. Not having to wait long, he felt the first gentle spurt of his semen into the fox. The second pulse of his ejaculation was much more intense, signaling the real beginning of his climax. Tails blushed as he was filled by Lucario, while the Pokémon's chest heaved at the pleasure coursing through his body. His testes were more than willing to give up their prize, long ropes of semen coating the inside of Tails' intimate places. Miles murred deep in his throat, loving the feeling of every spasm against his insides. Lucario pushed his maleness as deep into the fox as it would go, releasing his semen far inside the fox.

"Tails...," whispered the Pokémon, as his cock unloaded into Miles.

Merely letting his guest finish inside of him, Tails just now sighed contentedly. Lucario was knot-locked with him, the crescendo of the Pokémon's climax passing and his spasms began to ebb. The fox was afraid they'd woken up Sonic in the fits of their passion, but he still suspected the hedgehog could sleep through just about anything.

Interrupting the fox's sex-induced reverie, Lucario said softly, "It may be a bit before I...settle down."

"It's all right," answered Tails. "Let's got more comfortable, then." Slowly, the fox lay out flat on his stomach, the Pokémon moving with him, until Lucario lay flush to Tails, and the fox to the bed. Murring happily, Lucario wrapped his arms around the fox's chest as best he could without starting to uncomfortably pull out of his tailhole prematurely. Nuzzling into Tails' neck, the fox smiled in kind at his current lover.

"Are you tired yet?" asked Lucario, softly.

Shaking his head, Tails asked in response, "Are you?"

"Not even a little," answered the Pokémon with a chuckle.

Hugging the fox tightly, Lucario sighed contentedly, his maleness still throbbing inside Tails' ass. Miles could feel some of Lucario's seed leaking out of his tailhole past the Pokémon's knot, the slippery fluids sliding down the back of his sac; the fox liked the sensation. The next time Sonic was feeling frisky, Tails would have no problem letting the hedgehog top him. Neither of them said anything, just enjoying the other's company for the moment.

"I suppose this is one way to make friends, isn't it?" asked the Pokémon, softly.

He was greeted only with silence. Looking around the vulpine as best he could, Lucario could see that Miles was asleep, and snoring softly. Smiling to himself, the Pokémon just rest his muzzle against Tails and closed his own eyes. In just a few moments, he had joined the fox in slumber, still with just the moonlight through the window blanketing both their nude forms.

***

Opening his eyes, Sonic blinked away the blurry remnants of sleep from his vision. Sitting up in bed, he stretched his arms far over his head, yawning a bit while he listened to birds singing nearby outside.

"Hey, lil' bud, you sleep o--," began Sonic, but when he looked down at Tails' bedroll, he found it empty. Puzzled, Sonic got out of his bed, slipping his sneakers on and padded across the room. Opening the bedroom door, he stepped into the living area. Looking around, Tails was nowhere in sight. "Tails?" called Sonic, softly. Looking through the front windows, he couldn't see the fox outside either. Tails never strayed far from the cabin first thing in the morning without Sonic, and especially not without breakfast.

Stealthily walking to Lucario's room, Sonic twisted the knob silently and cracked the door a bit. Inside, Tails was laying facing the bed, with Lucario snuggled against him from behind, the Pokémon's arms wrapped around the fox's chest. They were both nude, and Sonic's somewhat-sensitive nose detected the definite scent of male fluids.

Opening the door a bit more, Sonic just watched the two of them curled up with one another, and smiled to himself. Crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame, he decided not to wake the pair. Idly, he wanted to join in the next time Tails decided to sneak off for some midnight fun.

As Sonic turned away from the doorway, he closed the door behind himself. Crossing the room, he set about making breakfast for the three of them.

***

When he first woke up, Tails was momentarily disoriented when he wasn't waking up on the floor of Sonic's room. He quickly remember where he was, and what had happened the night before. Lucario's arm around him was agreeable to wake up to, and Tails put his paw over the Pokémon's.

"Morning," said Lucario, softly.

Giggling a little, Tails just squeezed Lucario's paw, feeling embarrassed for some reason. He'd never just jumped in bed with someone before; it was new, and different, and very thrilling. "I had fun last night," said the fox at length.

"I'm glad," whispered Lucario.

"Is it...okay that we did all that?" asked Miles.

"I think so," assured Lucario, giving the fox a quick, tight hug. Rubbing Miles' belly, the Pokémon let his paw drift a bit lower, rubbing at Tails' testes. "We could have a repeat performance."

Laughing a little, Tails replied, "We could, but I think I smell Sonic making breakfast, and after last night, I worked up an appetite."

Nodding, Lucario released his arms from the fox, letting Tails sit up. The fox retrieved his shorts from the floor, pulling them on. The Pokémon was slight sad to have the fox's sexual places covered up. Hopefully, though, there would be ample opportunity later.

Tails opened the door, and Lucario followed him out into the living area. Sure enough, Sonic had started the fire and was making a few eggs. He caught them from the corner of his eye and grinned widely. "So, you two sleep okay?"

"Um...yeah...," replied Tails, sheepishly. "We sort of--"

Sonic just held up a hand. "It's okay, I saw you two all curled up in there. Not like it's a big deal."

"It's...not?" asked Tails, slowly.

"Nah, li'l pal," assured Sonic, scooping up their breakfasts and setting it on the table. "I'm just glad you made a new friend."

"Really good friend, apparently," added Tails with a wry smile, looking at Lucario.

The three of them sat down to the table, starting in on their food. "So, what now?" asked Sonic, in between bites

"What do you mean?" asked the Pokémon.

"I mean...what are you going to be doing?" the hedgehog went on. "We'll be returning to Knothole soon."

Nodding, Lucario went on, "You mentioned that before. If it's all right, I'd like to come with you when you depart." He looked over at Tails, giving a soft smile. "Maybe not going back to my own place wouldn't be so bad."

Laughing a little, Sonic agreed, "Well, okay, then, that's settled." Giving Tails a wink, he went on, "Maybe later you two want some alone time?"

"Maybe you would want to join in?" suggested the Pokémon.

Sonic laughed again. "Maybe I will." Even as his own maleness started to press against the inside of his pants, he just added another aloof, "Maybe I will."

While they animatedly talked over breakfast, Lucario was feeling like he was somewhere he had not been in awhile; a place he belonged. The fox and hedgehog were his new friends, and if the night before was any indication there was something deeper between himself and the fox. In the coming time, Lucario would enjoy seeing where he would go in this new world.
